Chapter 297"Harriet!" Molly rushed over and helped her up. "Are you feeling unwell?"The sight of Harriet's vacant eyes made Molly worry.Harriet ignored her question and went back to bed.She turned to look out the window. It was sunny outside, but her mood was cloudy.Delbert had been missing for seven days."Are you worried about Delbert?" Molly cautiously asked.Upon hearing the name, Harriet trembled and started to shed tears."Molly, what should I do? I promised you that I wouldn't lose control of my emotions, but I can't control myself," she said. "I'm so worried about Delbert. He's been missing for seven days, and I feel like my heart has stopped beating!"She weakly curled up in Molly's arms. She had done her best to comfort herself, but as time went by, there was no news coming from Imperium. She couldn't take it any longer.She held Molly tightly and burst into tears.At that moment, she understood Delbert's worry and fear when he saw her in trouble.She was fee
Chapter 298'What? Delbert is dead? How could such a powerful man like him die? He's the president of Carlson Group and a magnet in Meawood City!' Harriet thought.She couldn't believe this news, believing it was fake.Delbert couldn't possibly be dead."Cory, give me your car keys!" she said.Seeing Cory coming over to handle her discharge procedures, Harriet snatched his car keys.She wanted to go to Imperium to find Delbert.She wouldn't believe the news until she saw him with her own eyes.Cory was stunned by her action. As she hurried out of the hospital, he realized that Harriet must have read the news online.Not only her, but Cory didn't believe it was true either.Delbert was an omnipotent figure. How could anything happen to him?Cory watched Harriet leave and felt a sense of unease."Mr. Delbert, why haven't you appeared yet?" he muttered."Miss me?"Just then, a hand patted his shoulder from behind.It was Delbert's voice, and Cory felt that it was unreal.H
Chapter 299After a moment, tears filled Harriet's eyes.Delbert was in disguise, wearing a black cap. His head was down, making it hard to see his face.Even so, Harriet managed to recognize him at a glance.Delbert looked up, his eyes filled with tenderness.But Harriet blurted out in confusion, "Is it because I missed you so much that I'm hallucinating now?"Delbert's heart softened. He cursed himself inwardly for making Harriet cry and feel so sad.He lowered his gaze, wiped away her tears, and spoke softly. "Alright, silly girl. You look ugly when you cry."But Harriet couldn't snap out of it. She couldn't believe it. She thought she was still in a hallucination. Otherwise, how could Delbert, who had been missing for so long, suddenly appear before her eyes?Instinctively, she reached out her hands and slowly touched Delbert's face.When she felt the real touch in her palms, she couldn't help but smile bitterly."I must miss you so much that even in a hallucination, the
Chapter 300Harriet felt the same discomfort and pain as Delbert, who once feared she would leave him.Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall."I'm sorry. It's my fault!" Delbert apologized, lowering his head.It was his fault for making her worry.He paused and looked up. "Won't you consider giving me a chance to make it up to you?"He leaned closer to her.Harriet instinctively wanted to run away, but her legs couldn't move.While she was spellbound, Delbert took her in his arms and refused to let go."I was wrong, and I will explain to you. Stop crying now. It hurts me when you cry!" he said.But to his surprise, Harriet cried even more bitterly."You jerk, you can coax me. Why do you have to show such a fierce expression?" she snapped, accusing him.The rushing tears put Delbert at a loss. He didn't know what he should do to stop Harriet from crying.In fact, whether it was in his childhood, his past life, or this life, he had never been the kind of person wh
Chapter 301Harriet's sudden confession of love stirred up Delbert's heart.It turned out that she didn't resent him for this matter.And she said that she loved him.Delbert couldn't care about anything else. He tightly held Harriet, his voice full of affection."I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept things from you," he said. "But I love you more than you love me."Harriet's last line of defense collapsed.She cried until she laughed and nodded. "I understand your feelings. From now on, we will face everything together!""Okay, I promise you!" Delbert smiled.The pain and self-accusation were gone from his face.He picked up Harriet and happily spun her around.Harriet's laughter brightened up the whole street."Okay, put me down now. I feel a little dizzy." Harriet smiled broadly.Only then did Delbert put her down.Harriet felt a little dizzy, but her face was filled with joy."Let's go home!" Delbert said.He put Harriet in the car and headed straight for the island.A
Chapter 302Delbert rubbed his sleepy eyes and frowned at the sound of Harriet's restrained sobbing. He reached out and took her into his arms."Silly girl, why are you crying again?" he said.Harriet choked and said intermittently, "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were injured. I shouldn't have misunderstood you earlier. Does your back hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?"Delbert chuckled and rubbed her head. "It's okay, sweetheart. Such light injuries are nothing to me. Don't worry or cry. I'm fine."But his words only served to make Harriet feel more guilty."I'm sorry. I should have trusted you and not been angry with you," she apologized.Delbert knew that Harriet was overthinking again. He gently brushed her nose with his finger."I'm really okay. Well, stop crying. When I went to Imperium, I didn't expect Shawn to suddenly attack me, which caught me off guard and delayed my return. I made you worry."As for the fake news of my death, it was deliberately spread by me t
Chapter 303Delbert didn't know what had happened, but he could sense Harriet's fear from her trembling body.So, he held Harriet tightly."What's wrong? Can you tell me?" he asked patiently."When I woke up just now and didn't see you, I thought everything yesterday was just a dream. But luckily, you're still here!" she said. "Please, never leave me without a word again, okay? I was so scared!"She buried her head deeply in Delbert's chest.Delbert felt a dampness on his chest and noticed Harriet's trembling shoulders.His heart ached, and he quickly patted her back to comfort her."How could I bear to leave you? I promise, I will always be by your side. Whatever happens, we will face it together, okay?" he said.He smiled and muttered to himself, "I will never disappear from your sight again!"Harriet finally felt relieved, but she still held onto Delbert's waist."Alright, let's go downstairs for breakfast. Opal should have prepared it by now," Delbert said, feeling a bit
Chapter 304Harriet was still frowning, but a smile lingered on her face."You wish!" she said, trying to break free from Delbert's restraint.However, before she could escape, Delbert intercepted her halfway.She ended up in his warm embrace and happily giggled."Let's see where you can run this time," said Delbert, tickling her waist."Ah, it's so itchy! Knock it off!" Harriet protested.She tried to claw at him but could not reach him. She looked frustrated."Alright!" Delbert smiled, satisfied with her plea for mercy.However, after being released from his embrace, Harriet didn't want to let Delbert off easily.She quickly pinched his cheeks and grumbled, "A payback for your tickling, you villain!"She forcefully pinched his face.Delbert frowned, but his eyes were full of indulgence.Seeing that she had deformed Delbert's face, Harriet raised an eyebrow and triumphantly smiled.When she had finally vented her frustration, Delbert wrapped his arm around her waist."S
Chapter 783Delbert spoke like a spoiled child, and Harriet couldn't help but laugh. She felt that Delbert was acting strangely.After holding her for a while, Delbert led her to walk outside."Let's go!" he said eagerly.It made Harriet feel even more puzzled.Before long, they arrived at a nearby amusement park.After getting out of the car, Harriet noticed that the scenery at the amusement park was beautiful."The Ferris wheels!" Delbert smiled, leading her toward the Ferris wheel.Delbert bought two tickets, and they got on the Ferris wheel hand in hand.Throughout the ride, Delbert held Harriet's hand tightly, while his other hand secretly took out an engagement ring from his suit pocket.Harriet saw it and finally realized what was going on.It was a surprise that Delbert had prepared for her.Delbert went down on one knee and spoke solemnly, "Ms. Harriet Munoz, would you be willing to marry me?"His eyes shone eagerly. He was even more nervous than when Harriet marr
Chapter 782Marc wondered if Molly had developed depression at that time.Molly slowly sat up and said, "You were forced to marry me, so you must have been angry, right? I remember everything!"Marc held her hand and listened quietly.His heart was in turmoil, but he didn't know what to say.Molly didn't want to recall those things, but today she had to bring them all up."I bumped into Lula scheming against you and was forced to sleep with you. Then I married you. But would Lula let me off so easily?"Marc could guess what had happened, and he said, "It's all in the past. Don't dwell on it. I'm different from before. You can trust me and depend on me."Molly forced a smile and said, "You don't know. Because of your misunderstanding and torment, Lula had people insult and slander me. Those things eventually led to my psychological trauma, causing my depression. Do you understand now?"Marc looked at her pale face and felt a sting of guilt.It was his fault.He held Molly in
Chapter 781Molly intended to drape the blanket over Marc, but Marc woke up."You're awake. How are you feeling?" Marc said with concern, his eyes bloodshot.Molly shook her head. "I'm alright. Sorry to wake you up.""Well, the doctor told me that you had taken many antidepressants," Marc said in distress.Molly turned pale, not expecting the doctor to reveal her depression.The disease had been haunting her and reminding her of the unpleasant past.Molly met Marc's gaze and faltered. Her hands clutched the blanket, as she didn't know how to broach the topic."You're my wife. I have the right to know the truth," Marc said seriously.They had been together for so long, but he didn't know about this matter until an outsider told him.Molly bit her lip and shook her head. Unable to hold back, she cried out, "I'm sorry, Marc. I really..."Marc stood up and took her into his arms. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have rushed you. It's okay if you don
Chapter 780When Marc arrived at the hospital, the medical team was already waiting at the entrance.Marc quickly briefed them on Molly's condition. "My wife suddenly fainted. I'm not sure what's going on. Please help check on her." "Mr. Welch, please wait outside," the nurse said, intercepting him.Marc looked at the closed emergency room, and anxiety caused him to feel breathless.After a long time, the doctor came out, and Marc urgently asked, "How is she?""After a series of tests, we confirmed that Harriet has stomach cancer," the doctor said solemnly.Marc was struck dumb. Even his ears were buzzing."What?" He trembled."Her stomach has suffered significant damage, and she can't eat many things," the doctor explained, sighing at Marc's dejected look."But she's always been fine? Did you make a mistake in the examination?" Marc said, looking at the doctor incredulously.He had been with Molly for so long, but he hadn't heard of her stomach discomfort."I know the res
Chapter 779Later, Delbert handed over the audio recordings of Sadie and Felipe's conspiracy, as well as the evidence of Sadie's attempt to embezzle assets from the Carlson Group, to the police.The police immediately began the trial of Sadie and Felipe. In the end, the court sentenced them to eight years in prison.Excited about the news, Harriet led Delbert to see Miriam.Seeing her innocent look, Delbert wanted to embrace her and protect her forever.Miriam saw Harriet's happy face and asked, "What's going on? You look so happy.""I have some good news to tell you," Harriet replied.She let go of Delbert's hand and hugged Miriam. "Felipe and Sadie have been sentenced to eight years in prison. We won, and the Bass family is finally ours."Miriam took some time to overcome her shock. "Is it true?"She never thought they would win in the end.Harriet nodded vigorously, and Miriam confirmed the truth.She could finally return to the Bass family.She no longer cared about Fel
Chapter 778Levi raised his glass to congratulate them. "Yvonne, Delbert, I wish you happiness forever.""Me too," Arthur said.The others followed suit. Delbert had to drink with them one after another.They wanted to test Delbert's endurance and love for Harriet.Delbert kept drinking until his face was flushed red.When the meal was over, Andy and the others went back to rest.Harriet and Delbert were left alone in the living room.Harriet used the tissue to wipe Delbert's face.Her gaze was filled with tenderness.Enchanted, Delbert grabbed her hand and put it on his chest."Harriet, I missed you so much," he said.His breath, mixed with the fragrance of wine, sprayed on Harriet's face.Then Delbert bent down to kiss her.They cuddled together, their eyes locked in a collision of longing.They kept holding each other, and Harriet bravely met his gaze.Delbert picked her up and carried her upstairs.The sound of rain drowned out many sounds, but it couldn't extingui
Chapter 777Soon, Delbert received a mail containing the documents.He skimmed them through and found that everything was fine at the company. Ben was quite a good manager.Delbert was satisfied with his performance.But Ben remained nervous, even though he could tell Delbert's good mood."You've done very well!" Delbert praised.Relieved, Ben scratched his head and said, "Thank you, sir.""You've been with me for a long time. Do you think I should give you a raise?" Delbert said.In Ben's mind, his current salary and the benefits provided by the Carlson Group were quite good, but who would refuse more money?"Is it okay, sir?" he tentatively asked.Delbert fell silent. Ben shivered and quickly added, "No need. I think it's good enough.""No, you will get a raise," Delbert smiled, having learned to scare people from Harriet.Subconsciously, he had been affected by Harriet.Ben was overjoyed, wondering if it was Harriet's credit.In the evening, Harriet sent a message to D
Chapter 776Delbert handed Saide over to the police and left without hesitation.Sadie bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears. The police officers took her away for interrogation.Sadie couldn't accept the fact that Delbert had no feelings for her at all.In the interrogation room, she licked her wounds and refused to talk.Her heart was broken, and her face was covered with tears.Delbert couldn't wait to see Harriet.Harriet was working. To avoid disturbing her work, he decided to meet her at the family banquet in the evening."I'm working right now. Can you come over tonight?" Harriet said.She was eager to see Delbert, holding and smelling him."Oh, you don't want to see me?" Delbert teased her."How could that be? But I'm working. With you around, I can't focus, so you have to wait for a while," Harriet said while reviewing the documents.After Felipe's arrest, a lot of things at the company required her attention. She was up to her neck."I can help you," Delber
Chapter 775Felipe was on tenterhooks when he received a message from his trusted aide."Miss Bass has disappeared in Meawood City. We couldn't find her," the man reported."Keep searching and find her at all costs," Felipe urgently said.He used all his connections and even hired private detectives, but there was still no news.It wasn't until Sadie returned to Imperium that Felipe got the information. To his surprise, Sadie had gone to Meawood City with Delbert.Although Delbert had lost his memory, Felipe couldn't feel reassured. He decided to temporarily leave Imperium and lay low for a while.He packed up his belongings and planned to escape abroad.Just as he was transferring his assets at home, the police suddenly came to his door."Hello, are you Mr. Felipe Bass?" they said.Felipe didn't expect the police to act so quickly. He said nervously, "Yes, may I help you?"But the following words from the police dashed his last hope. "Based on the video sent by Miss Harriet
